All parent reviews for One Night with the King

Enjoyed it
I went to see this film with my wife and 16 year old daughter. It was a real pleasure to see. I avoid most movies out there because they are depressing or have questionable values or messages. I found One Night with the King to be a positive, enjoyable experience for myself and my family.

Poor Script
The photography and costumes were lush. But the screenplay was difficult to follow. Most kids won't be interested whether Esther is the concubine chosen to be queen and that is a major portion of the movie. The motivation of the king and queen's behavior is barely dealt with. Why doesn't Esther tell the king she didn't have an affair?

excellent family film
This is a great example of how a movie can be kept clean and remain interesting and fun. Not entirely biblically accurate but a good effort to retell one of the greatest love stories of history. Older kids (especially teen girls) will enjoy this with their parents. Highly recommended.

Makes the story of Esther come alive!!!
This is a great movie. You can tell that it wasn't done on the budget of a huge epic hollywood film but still a wonderful movie. Loved the romance & how they stayed true to the Bible story. Glad to have movies to go to that are not all sex, violence, language & drugs. I'm soooo glad someone finally put the awesome story of one of my heroes on the big screen!!!

Loved it!
I thought this movie was beautifully done. Made me go back and read this portion of the Old Testament - it was right on the money!
At first I found the female lead to be less than believeable as Esther. While she was pretty, I'm not sure I would have described her as the most beautiful girl in the kingdom. But you soon came to see that it was not just outwordly beauty that attracted the King to her.
There was a sad side of the story that was not in the biblical account of her friend that was made a eunuch. This might have some children asking a lot of questions that might be a little uncomfortable to answer so you might want to be prepared for that.
